3.2. PatXML file Uploads

You can now upload application documents in XML format in
Forms 1001 and PCT/RO/101.

3.3 PCT Automatic debit

You can now select Automatic debit as the mode of payment
for Form PCT/RO/101.

3.4. Form 1038 Imports

You can now import Form 1038 in the same way as you import
other data.

3.5. Related applications automatically linked

When filing subsequent documents for an application, a
link is now created to the related application in the History screen.

3.6. Multiple file Exports

You can now select multiple files for batch retrieval and
export.

3.7. Detected language Correction

Uploaded documents are checked to detect if they are English,
French or German. You can now change the language automatically detected if it is
incorrect.

3.8. Document type Correction

You can now edit the document type if it is incorrect.

3.9. Special characters in document names

In previous versions, uploaded documents were checked and
rejected if the file name included special characters (e.g. accented
characters). These characters are now permitted, but the system assigns a new file
name which is indicative of the document contents. Both names are visible in
the document overview.

3.10. Advanced customisation of lists

You can now customise the My applications, My demo
applications, My contacts and My templates views by selecting the fields you
want to show. There is one default field and five or six optional fields to choose
from, depending on the view. You can also change the column sequence by
dragging and dropping the relevant column header.

3.11. Address book inconcistencies

There have been reports of glitches when importing
address books, e.g. failure to transfer the country of nationality/residence. This
issue has been resolved.

3.12. Toolbar shortcut

You can now use shortcuts to access tasks on the toolbar in
views such as My applications. Toolbar shortcuts are key combinations comprising
ALT and a number key. You can display all shortcuts by pressing the H key.
Pressing a shortcut:

activates the relevant task if there is only one
option available (e.g. Remove) or

opens a menu if there are multiple options for
the task (e.g. New application). Use the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW keys to cycle
through the various options and ENTER to select the highlighted option.

Shortcut numbering is always consecutive from left to
right (regardless of whether an option is disabled).

Version 1.11 also includes the following changes:

The system now remembers your filter settings.
For example, if you set Draft as the filter value for Status in My
applications, that filter is applied each time you return to My applications.
The system automatically stores your last filter.

Multiple fields is a technical field in PCT
applications (Form RO101).

You can now indicate if an inventor is deceased
in an EP application (Form1001).

The EP application package (Form 1001) now
includes Form1002 where applicable.

Special characters are no longer permitted in
the reference field.

TIFF files are Annex F-compliant.

You can now revoke EPO access to draft cases
after having enabled it in an earlier step.
